From a business's perspective, this requires further investments in keeping devices updated. Big players in edge computing have proposed new devices and concepts for industries, resulting in the likelihood of increasingly expensive devices going forward. However, small businesses and factories cannot afford such investments. Thus, this paper proposes a simple and low-cost implementation of an edge computing platform for small businesses to automate their business in real time. Furthermore, having the perspective of historical performance enables real-time optimization of the entire business process.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117182138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study uses linguistic variables to describe the link connectivity under damaged conditions. Link connectivity is estimated based on human subjective cognition of road damage. To assess the vulnerability of the road network, we propose two kinds of fuzzy reliability indicators, fuzzy reliability of travel time and fuzzy reliability of network connection. They are the decision basis for disaster reduction planning. Due to difficulties in obtaining actual data limited to large-scale disasters, this study was analyzed using the Sioux Falls road network. According to the probability of damage to the road affected by the earthquake, we randomly generate the road damage scenarios according to the road width and use four linguistic variables to describe the road connectivity, i.e.\"high\", \"medium\", \"low\", and \"very low\". The simulation situation analysis results show that node 14, node 23 and node 24 located in the southwest corner of Sioux Falls road network are the most vulnerable. Once a large earthquake disaster occurs, the connection degree of external traffic is the lowest and should be improved first.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121043876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, various well-known data mining tools as well as ones developed previously were used. To be more specific, the following techniques were applied for the mentioned problems: support vector machines, artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic systems and others. However, firstly each person's state was monitored using non-contact vital sensing. Experimental results demonstrated that automatically generated fuzzy rule-based classifiers can properly determine the human condition (and reaction) based on data obtained by non-contact vital sensing using the Doppler sensors introduced earlier. Besides, these fuzzy logic systems outperformed alternative well-known data mining tools. Thus, more complex problems related to the automated detection of an operator's condition can be solved in the same manner.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116528187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SPSS analysis offered support the relationship between travel constraints and revisit intention (H2), destination image and revisit intention (H3) except the relationship between travel constraints and destination image (H1). The results also confirmed a role of destination image played in travel constraints and revisit intention and the relationship between travel constraints and revisit intention.

Max-SAT is a combinatorial optimization problem that maximizes the true clauses of the SAT clauses, and many Max-SAT solvers have been proposed. Parallelization is expected as an efficiency improvement method when solving problems with a large amount of computation such as Max-SAT. However, many of the Max-SAT solvers are designed as sequential programs, and the effect of parallelization is limited. In this study, we developed a massive parallel search algorithm by designing a parallel stochastic search algorithm and combining it with parallel speculative computation. From the comparison with existing solvers using the Max-SAT problem, we examine the feasibility of this method.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130644288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are not so many researches to evaluate instructional design for digital fabrication education. Therefore, we conducted an experiment in an actual digital fabrication course and evaluated its instructional design. The research question of the experiment is what kind of factors affect to knowledge retention of learners in the case of digital fabrication education. In the experiment, learners took a test to assess knowledge they acquired in lessons each week. They were required to repeatedly try to take the tests until they achieved a perfect score. Three weeks later, to assess learner's knowledge retention, the learners took a delayed-test which was the same contents as the previous tests. Several learners scored lower than a half of full marks even though they achieved the perfect score three weeks before. In order to investigate the reason why they could not retain their knowledge, we analyzed their job-sheet they had written their works and found several reasons of them caused from lack of their practical experience. In consideration of the analytical result, this paper also discusses about a better instructional design for digital fabrication. The contents of the discussion will contribute as a useful idea for an instructor to consider instructional design for digital fabrication education.","PeriodicalId":136474,"journal":{"name":"2019 8th International Congress on Advanced Applied Informatics (IIAI-AAI)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116250745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
